Fork Restaurant

Let me take you over to Fork restaurant. Located in Old City Philly, I’m always looking for new places around the city to eat at. On this particular day, I had a shoot and was looking for a happy hour spot. I wasn’t terribly hungry but so in the mood for oysters. After seeing an Instagram post from Fork, I decided to give it a try.

Now honestly, I have no excuse for never having been to Fork. I used to live in Old City and my nail shop is literally two doors down from the restaurant. Crazy how you don’t notice things unless they are on your radar. I met two of my girlfriends there and we all got the oysters. They were so delicious served in olive oil, lemon juice and pickled celery. I think the pickled celery was the key. To accompany my oysters I got a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

If you are interested in going, I will say that for happy hour the oysters cost more than other places in the city. You can literally get $1 oysters at McCormick’s and Schmick’s. The happy hour oysters at Fork are $2 each. The atmosphere is beautiful and the staff was wonderful plus I really wanted to try something new.
